3 Weeks, Pulled Over Twice, Now On Probation

[Ally]

I have had my car for 3 weeks

First time, pulled over for a random check,

and all the questions that go with it, car was ok though!

Friday night in mornington, going home had a car load of drunk mates and was bout 1am down a long back road

doing 75 in a 60... SHIT go pulled over i only had one point left on my licence and they gave me three and took bout 1/2 an hour to go over my car! so now lucky me gets to be on bloody probation for 12 months!

AND yeah yeah i no i was doing the wrong thing, but it was 1am NOone around and on my way home! DONT say you havent done it b4!

i was so pissed off!

But i still love my car

[FordyR31]

We have done it b4.... Sometimes u get caught... sometimes u dont... Sucks to be u. but probation isnt a bad thing.... u just need to drive how every P plater should... Like a granny and learn how to drive the correct way rather than the fast way .

He he, does suck to be you. No one around except for you and the cops.

A lesson learnt i'm sure.

hahahaha! yer true

im a good lil driver though, cant say that bout to many of my friends though! i thought i was going to die when my friend got her licence yesterday, not that shes a hoon jsut that she cant drive! she reved her lil marage to 7 grand and dropped the cluch at the lights cause she doesnt know how to drive a manual! OMG hahaha!!!!

[Ally]

He he, does suck to be you. No one around accept for you and the cops.

A lesson learnt i'm sure.

yer its a lesson, hahaha i have already given 5 points to mum but this time they accually pulled me over so no getting out of this one! i have to be a granny for 12 months! AH i reckon if i was in my old car i wouldnt have been pulled over though.. GRRR

[FordyR31]

Its interesting how some ppl pass to begin with isnt it ... Now a days tho u cant afford to even drive a nice car without the possibility of it being taken away from u or being "randomly" checked. I do think if u have things wrong then fair enough but if someone cant find anything and they knit pick, thats a bit wrong... tell u what tho.... I'm glad to see a cop giving a young girl the fine! Unfortunately it was u but I know a couple of girls, mate sis and her mates, that have NEVER been issued a ticket on the spot.... Even if they r doing the wrong thing. Good to see i say! if ur speeding u'll get pulled up no matter what car ur in lol.

yer i no its a bit sexist i think,

like i have been pulled over by guy cops but there always pretty nice, and let me off.. but if theres a girl there i get done, its happend twice now, both girls. grrr girls should look out for girls, hmm now im the one being sexist haha

[FordyR31]

guys dont look out for guys.... what area u get done in? maybe they r just targeting p platers in general or imports or both with the new hoon laws.... last thing u want is ur 1st decent car taken off u! BE GOOD!

Liam

what are these new hoon laws?

im in the mornington penisula area, but work in melbourne so i have to drive everyday, so i would be screwed if i lost my licence!

down myway is known for hotted up cars and HOONS haha nah it really is, once there wore undercover cops in a Torana SLR5000 draging ppl at the lights and then pulling them over! i think that is so wrong! but heaps of ppl die in accidents down my way.

ill be good hahaha naw i have to be! AH

Maybe if your mother didnt cover you for your previous offenses you mightve learnt your lesson sooner. So you gave your mother 5 points, had 1 left and was given another 3? 12 Points by 20 isnt exactly a laughing matter. Good luck with the 12 month period of no points though, might be tough.

[FordyR31]

repeat offenders can have their cars impounded for 48 hours and court appearence... there r different charges like hooning speeding and drink driving... Once ur car has been impounded and u been to court if u get caught again it goes up and up nd until poooooof.... ur car is litterally taken off u and sold at police auction once all cases regarding that car r closed... Was reading it in the local paper and it was something like 173 cars in 12 months had been impounded for whatever periods of time just in my local area!

lose it for 3mths, thats what i did, only cause i was on holiday and didnt know i lost my license, well i came back on the last day to respond and they said it was too late, but anyways, i just gave a blind eye and drove around, and get my license back in 6days, i got pulled over twice, but no licencse check thank god, but i get targeted because im black and have tattoos, and if anyone says otherwise its true, i havnt been driving my skyline cause its off the road, so ive been driving a 1990 granny spec cressida... my favorite was been pulled over for having that rear window sunvisor thing, and i have to take it off on the side of the road... stupid cops, i hate them, i really do..

Sounds like we might get an addition to this thread stating.

I lost my car for 48 hours, what do i do?

lol

Im not an idiot,

i got a speeding fine, that was one piont, for 85 in an 80. so what.

i got a red light camra fine, that was from being stuck in a turning lane in the city, that wasnt fair, 3 points.

then got done bye a girl cop who made me cry she started swaring at me and hti the side of my car with her fist! she was tail gateing me in the right hand lane so i sped up to get out of her way and she pulled me over, did me for 120 in a 100 zone when i would have done 110 at tops, it was estimated. 3 points.

before last year i had been driving for 2 years and did not loose one point!

i think ppl can agreee with me that you have spills of pure bad luck. i did nothing more than what most ppl do everyday.

so yerrr..

i def get bad luck in spills. i hate it.

im definatly not finding it funny that im on probation, im laughing at how much it sucks.

do what NateR31 and choose to lose it for 3 months instead of driving for 12 months with 1 point.

3 months is better than losing it for 6 months and don't try n kid yourself, you WILL lose that point within the 12 months.

i should've done that aswell, i would've already had my license back months ago with full points. instead i chose to keep driving with 1 point then lost 6 points.

your choice but i'm telling ya there is no way you can go 12 months without losing a single point. you'll keep driving for a few months but eventually you'll get done.

yer i would, but i have to relie on my car to get to work everyday and thats 1 - 1/12 hours away! i need to drive to =(

ill just pray for the best but i do agree with you, have you seen the secret? ill just think positive haha

[adznight]

I drove with 1 point for 12 months, it's an option if you REALLY need your license but you've gotta ask can you trust yourself? If you hesitate then take the 3 months

you should be more aware of cop cars and cameras around you, especially if your doing the wrong thing;) there is no excuse for letting a cop car get up behind you and match your speed when your doing 15 over the limit, how did you not notice them!?

I got lots of tickets when I first got my car, lost 9 points in the space of 2 months... been clean for the last 3 years and now have all my points back... just get used to driving like an old lady and stay out of the right lane!

[R-SPEC]

did you also get fined for driving a r33 gtst on your Ps or not?

Nah, she was in an undercover car, didn’t even have aerials and she wasn’t in uniform.

I was overtaking cars that wore slow in the left hand lane like normal.

And yer the others wore mistakes, after the red light one I never go in the intersection and turn if there’s a wait and a red light camera.
